Drop-down menu in simulink

Hi every one,

After long search, I was not able to find a proper answer for my request. Instead of using a simple constant block, I would like to insert a BLOCK in the simulink as an input data( constant input). This block should be as a DROP-DOWN menu. For example: when I click on it, it will give me three options for the temprature and I can choose one of them as an input to my system.

please support me if any one has and idea or solution.

Thank you

Hi,

One idea of creating drop-down option for input constant is to have this block under a subsystem that have to be converted into a mask. Then using Mask edit options: Popup control GUI button and Popup options, intialization options...

if you'd like to create not a drop-down but just a user entry box option, then it is much simpler.

Good luck.

Thank you very much, the idea is nice. However, I have tried to use Popup control and insert a three values of tempratures in the (" type options" "from property editor " ). Now, I noticed that the parameter value of the constant didn't changed when I choose the second or third temperature value from the pop up list, it keeps showing the same result of the first temprature !!!

I think I missed somthing about linking the pop up values with the parameter value inside the subsystem ?

thank u again
